This goes with any pasta - here I had it will goat cheese ravioli from Eataly
My mother said if God put something in a bottle, there's no reason not to take advantage of it. While I agree with that to a point, I like to add ingredients to make it my own.
Cherry tomatoes, garlic and lemon
You can prepare this dish in the time it takes to cook the pasta
Sauté tomatoes, garlic and lemon
Squeeze the lemon in the juicer; use a good bottled pesto
Add the lemon to the mixture
Everyone in the pool!
For this dish I chop cherry tomatoes and put in a saute pan. Next I mince the garlic so it becomes a paste and add to the pan. Next I had some bottled pearl onions and added those. I squeezed two lemons in the juicer and added that along with the pasta straight from the pot - the starchy water helps to thicken the sauce.
Grate some parmesan cheese on top and you're done!
